Math Galaxy - Whole Numbers Fun

I received Whole Numbers Fun from Math Galaxy to review. This is a computer math tutorial for students in approximately grades 1-4. It works on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, time, money, measuring, and more.

This is a great program to really help kids visualize the math problems without having to have little blocks all over the house. I love the idea of the manipulatives, but hate the mess. This is the perfect solution, in my opinion. Plus there are some fun games. The player can either compete against the computer or another player. Whole Numbers Fun can be purchased here for $29.95. Math Galaxy also has Fractions Fun, Word Problems Fun, Algebra Fundamentals, and more. There are also some e-books and worksheet generators. This is a great supplement to use with any math curriculum.

About Me

We are a homeschooling family with two energetic boys ages 15 and 11. Dad works full time 40+ hours. Mom gets to stay home with the boys. We want to be able to share some of our tricks and help inspire others. Watch for posts about various unit studies we're doing, menu planning ideas, and just day to day inspiration. A garden is defined as land set aside for the cultivation of flowers, herbs, vegetables, or small fruits, for either utility or ornament. Gardens range in size from window boxes and small dooryard plots to the public botanical garden and commercial truck garden. Garden types are also widely varied: a garden may be devoted entirely to one kind of plant—e.g., cactuses, aquatic plants, alpine plants, or herbs—or may combine many types of plants to achieve maximum beauty and productivity. This garden is devoted to the cultivation and growth of children and parents (gems).
